United States Patent U.S. Cl. 260-558 A 4 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE a-Aminooxy-carboxylic acid amides of tuberculostatic activity, having the general formula X represents hydrogen atom or an acyl group,

R represents hydrogen atom or an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, aralkyl or aryl group,

Z represents an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group of 1 to carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl, aryl or aralkyl group, an unsubstituted or substituted aryl group or a heterocyclic radical and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts.

This invention relates to new alfahminooxy-carboxylic amide derivatives having tuberculostatic activity, as well as a process for the preparation thereof.

The earliest representative of the alfa-aminooxy carboxylic acids, that is the aminooxy-acetic acid is known since the end of the last century [A. Werner: Ber. 26, 1567 (1893), Ber. 27, 3350 (1894)] but its tuberculostatic activity has been described only years ago [0. -B. Favour: J. Bacteriol. 55, l (1948)]. -In the course of the further investigations some other aminooxy-derivatives have also been prepared [McHale et al.: J. Chem. Soc. 19-60, 225; P. Mamalis et al.: J. Chem. Soc. 1960, 229; E. Testa et al.: Helv. Chim. Acta 46, 766 (1963); P. Mamalis et al.: J. Med. Chem. 6, 848 (1965); V. Markova et al.: Khim. Karm. Zh. 3, 13 (1969)] and their microbiological properties have been tested as well [8. A. Price et al.: Brit. J. Pharm. 15, 243 (1960)], but there were not found compounds having a marked activity against Mycobacterium. tuberculosis.

Now we have found that the new alfa-aminooxy-carboxylic acid derivatives of the general Formula I X represents hydrogen atom or an acyl group,

R represents hydrogen atom or an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, aralkyl or aryl group,

Z represents an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, group of 1 to 15 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl, aralkyl or aryl group or a heterocyclic radical as well as the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the compounds of the general Formula 1 and/or the optically active isomers of such compounds containing asymmetric carbon atoms possess a very advantageous tuberculostatic activity.

In the majority of the compounds of the general Formula I X represents hydrogen, but X may also stand for an acyl group, which latter may contain in some cases a moiety capable of salt-formation. The compounds of .the general Formula I, wherein R stands for hydrogen, are amino-oxyacetic amide derivatives. Those compounds of the general Formula I, wherein R represents a group other than hydrogen, are alpha-aminooxy-carboxylic amide derivatives containing an asymmetric carbon atom, consequently they have optically active isomers. In the majority of the compounds of the general Formula I Z represents an unsubstituted or substituted aromatic group.

There were no data reported in the literature referring to the preparation of the compounds having the general Formula I, not even in the collective report of A. G. -Ilvespaa and A. Marxer, dealing with the chemistry of substituted hydroxylarnine derivatives [Chimia l8, 1 (1964)].

The compounds of the general Formula I can be prepared preferably as described in the followings:

An alfa-aminooxy-carboxylic acid derivative of the general Formula II A represents an acyl group, or when in the end-product X represents hydrogen atom, A is a radical capable to the temporary protection of the amino group, e.g. a carbobenzoxy or tert. butoxy-carbonyl radical.

R has the same meanings as stated above,

B represents hydroxyl group or a residue of an activated carboxyl group, e.g. a pentachlorophenoxy, halo or N group is reacted with an amine of the general Formula HI H NZ III) wherein Z has the same meanings as stated above, and the thus-obtained compound of the general Formula IV A-NHOCHC O-NH-Z 1'1 wherein A, R and Z have the same meanings as stated above, is converted, optionally after splitting off the protective group in a way known per se, into a compound of the general Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid. addition salt thereof.

The reaction of the compounds of the general Formulas II and HI is carried out in a presence of an organic solvent (preferably dioxane) at room temperature, and the progress of the reaction is monitored by thin layer chromatography. The reaction mixture can be worked up very easily, since both the by-products and the non-reacted starting substances can be separated by extraction, or by treating the mixture with an organic solvent. The thusobtained compound of the general Formula IV is treated in the next step with a glacial acetic acid solution of hydrobromic acid, or ethylacetate saturated with hydrochloric acid, depending on the character of the protective groups. The thus-obtained salts are practically insoluble in ether, accordingly they can easily be separated, and crystallized from an organic solvent or solvent mixture.

The thus-obtained compounds of the general Formula I can be acylated on their amino group in a way known per se. If an optically active compound of the general Formula II is used as starting material, optically active compounds of the general Formulas IV and I are obtained, their configuration corresponds to that of the starting substance. In those cases, when the starting compound of the general Formula II is optically inactive, the obtained end-products of the general Formula I can be resolved according to usual techniques into their optically active forms.

According to a particularly preferred method, the amino group of the alfa-aminooxy-carboxylic acid derivative of the general Formula II is temporarily protected with a tert. butoxycarbonyl or carbobenzoxy radical, and the carboxyl group of the compounds of the general Formula H is activated with dicyclohexyl carbodiimide, or by converting the free acid into its pentachlorophenyl ester. In this way the compounds of the general Formula IV can be prepared with very good yields; and they can be converted into the end-products of the general Formula I by treating them with an acid. The end-products of the general Formula I are obtained in the form of the free bases or their acid addition salts, depending on the circumstances of the reaction. The salts can be converted into the free base in a way known per se, while the free bases can be converted into their acid addition salts according to known procedures. Among the salts, the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are preferred.

According to the in vitro pharmacological tests, a great number of the compounds of the general Formula I exert a marked inhibiting activity against the growth of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis H R strain, as Well as aginst other strains resistant to isonicotinic acid hydrazide, pamino-salicylic acid and Streptomycin. The inhibiting activity of some anilides is particularly advantageous; the minimal inhibitory concentration of these compounds is below 1 v/ml.

The compounds of the general Formula I can be administered in the therapy orally and/or parenterally in the form of tablets, coated tablets, injections, infusions or suppositories. The average daily dose in adults is 7 to 50 mg./ kg.

The invention is further elucidated by the aid of the following, non-limiting examples.

The melting points have been determined in a Dr. Tottoli type apparatus. The thin layer chromatographical evaluations have been carried out on a Kieselgel nach Stahl adsorbent, in a 1:118 mixture of n-hexane, glacial acetic acid and chloroform, and the development has been carried out by the Cl +toluidine method. The structures of the products have been proved by IR and NMR spectroscopy.
